Don't worry, Dorephan, Link's not looking over there either, but he's certainly sharing that worry.
"There was a lot of information that was lost," Link said. "I can't say for certain if knowing how the Beasts worked better than we did at the time would've changed anything. Nobody can. But there's still a chance it might've bought the last bit of time we needed for Zelda's powers to awaken."
He wasn't going to go into why that happened when it did; not dirty laundry that needed airing. "We're working on preventing that from happening to a future royal daughter as well. All six of us were unprepared and under-informed. The issues with the royal daughters and the Sword are something we're stuck doing on our own, but Zelda and I can't do that and handle the Beasts without help. I don't like asking anyone to step up to this, but I will be damned if I let Mipha down by not doing what I can to keep her people safe."
